Abstract

The Futurist movement had the project of a ‘reconstruction of the universe’ (as Giacomo Balla and Fortunato Depero state in their manifesto of 1915), that is, of all the semiotic dimensions of culture. This included linguistic syntax (Marinetti, Parole in libertà, 1913) and cookbooks (see Marinetti and Fillìa, La cucina futurista, 1932). Starting from a meal of the word-in-liberty, we demonstrate the homology between literary and gastronomic texts.
